Use the software which came with the camera to "save" the picture on your had disk drive as a JPGUsing the same software, you need to change the dimensions of the image (x and y - not file size). Shrink the file dimensions to something more reasonable like 320x240 (or smaller) and save the image to your hard disk drive (as a JPG) with the addition of sm (for small) in the file the file size of this saved image. You can usually do this in the software provided if not go to my documents and navigate to the file place your mouse over it and the hint will display the file the file size is larger than 50kb you will need to make the dimensions smaller or reduce the number of colours and you are happy log on to SH and follow the instructions in creating an Ad.
